Tang Horse Sculpture

18 inches (to top of head) x 24 inches(nose to tail)   

Weight 10 lb.


I bought this piece at an estate sale, it's in excellent condition with out chips or damage.


From my research this is my understanding:


The elite of the Tang dynasty (618-907) stocked their graves with lavish 

items such as horse sculptures to ensure a comfortable afterlife 


A bowed head, flowing mane and musculature pay homage to this high quality statue.  


This Asian horse sculpture is hand rubbed and set atop a solid blackish patina base with a felt bottom


The Tang Horse Statue is individually hand cast which highlights the sculptural uniqueness and guarantees a heirloom quality 


Color and patina are impeccably applied by hand one piece at a time to create this unique & handsome Tang Horse
